Spiradenoma is a rare benign adnexal tumor arising from eccrine sweat glands. It presents as a painful bluish nodular lesion which occurs rarely over the arms. This case report adds to a case where a recurrent spiradenoma occurred over the arm. The majority of reported cases involve young adults, making our pediatric case particularly unusual. Early diagnosis through excisional biopsy is crucial for optimal management and prevention of recurrence or malignant transformation. Eccrine spiradenoma is an uncommon tumor that should be kept in mind in case of a patient with a painful nodule. More genetic studies are needed for the best understanding of this rare tumor entity.
Keywords: eccrine spiradenoma; histopathology; painful nodule.
